Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC) is ranked No. 8 nationally in run defense entering Week 7.
Opponents are averaging 84 yards per game against the Aggies.
“They are good at stopping the run,” Heupel said. “They are good at getting after the quarterback, too. First of all, they have really good skill, and when I say that, I am talking about their big skill up front, too. They are physical, they are dynamic, they are thick, they play strong, they are multiple up front. They have created a bunch of negative yardage plays in the run game, and that has given them the ability to go get after the quarterback, second-and-long, third-and-long, too.
“You have to do a great job in communication. You have to win some one-on-ones when you are in a one-on-one. Your double teams have to be good enough to change the way the line of scrimmage looks, too, so big test for us up front and across the board offensively.”
